INDIANA GOLF > HOOSIER GOLF: A VISION OF EXCELLENCE ON THE COURSE AND IN THE CLASSROOM Our mission at IU Golf is simple: To create an environment for you, the student ath- lete, to excel on the golf course, in the classroom and to grow as a person. At Indiana University you will pursue a degree at a world-class research institution. You will be challenged by some of the best academic minds in the world while studying at one of the most beautiful campuses in the world. As a Hoosier Golfer you will participate in one of the most accomplished programs in collegiate golf while competing at the national level against the best competition in col- lege golf. Throughout your career you will be exposed to many different personal development programs to help you grow and mature as a person. You will leave IU prepared to take on the world in whatever endeavor you choose. As your coach I am calling on you to challenge yourself and stretch your vision. Any- thing is possible! Once you have made that decision you will have the dedication of the coaching staff to help you develop your vision and make it a reality. I can promise you won’t be disappointed. Being a Hoosier Golfer is more than just making birdies. It is about adopting a way of life to constantly seek improvement in the most important part of this equation: you. Strive for excellence on and off the course. This is what it means to be an IU student- athlete.
